GARTER-PACKAGE.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, WILLIAM HART, a-citizen of the United States, residing in the'county of Philadelphia and tate of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gartpr-Packageaof which the following is a specification.

improvements in garter packages, and has forits object to provide an exceedingly simple andoefi'ective device of this character whereby a pair of garters may be packed in a. box of minimum depth, permitting one of the garters of said pairto be displayed from the package, and at the same time leaving the other garter loose in the box and capable of inspection by a prospective purchaser.

A further object of the invention is to provide a box in which is loosely placed'one garter of a pair, the same being held therein by a display card, on which is mounted the other garter of the pair, thereby producing an exceedingly neat package adapted for display purposes while at the same time permitting one o the garters of the pair to be readily removed for inspection without disturbing the other garter with relation to .the display card on which it is mounted.

With these ends in view this invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then specifically designated by the claim.

In order that those skilled in the "art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, I will describe its construction in. detail, referring by numeral to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- V Figure 1, isa plan view of a garter package made in accordance with my improvement. Fig. 2, is a rear plan view of a garter placed upon and secured to the display card. Fig. 3, is a face view of the dis play card showing the flanges or wings bent outward; and Fig. 4, is a section at the line 44 of Fig. 1, the box lid being mounted in place to close the box and showing the entire garter in elevation.

" prising a fiat triangular non-elastic pad 3,

a hook member 4 secured'to one of the up- S'pecification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 8, 1914. Serial No. 849,702.

per corners of the pad and a leg band 5 usually of elastic webbing secured to the opposite corner of the pad 3, and provided with loop or eyelet 6 at its free end for engaging the hook membert. To'the lower end of the pad 3 is sfecured the depending strap 7 carrylng a button 8 adapted to engage the hose and be held in place by the clasp 9. Y. My invention relates to new and useful formed from a rectangular strip which is folded adjacent each end along the dotted lines 11 and 12 respectively to produce the flanges or wings 13 and 1 1, leavin a body 15 therebetween in which are forme' two ope ings 16 and 17 adjacent the end of the body from which projects the flange 14.- Tri- I v angular portions of the body are out therefrom adjacent the end from which the flange 13 projects, thereby producing two angular edges 18 which approximately coincide with the similar edges of the upper ends of the garter pad 3, and from the two opposite edges of the body 15 intermediate the ends thereof, other triangular portions are cut away to form the angular edges 19.

To form the package shown in the drawings the flanges 13 and 14: are bent until they lie at right angles to the body 15 of the display card. The triangular pad 3 of the first of the garters is then laid upon the outer face of the body 15 of the display card until caused toengage the button 8, thus securely;

holding the garter upon the display card.

The leg band 5 of the garter is theri folded over one of the angular edges of the display card, then carried diagonally across the rear face of the display card as shown in Fig. 2,

and folded around one of the triangular edges 19, then carried across the front face of the display card, being threaded between thorough inspection of the article.

said card and a portion of the pad 3 and strap 7 is folded around the opposite angular edge 19 of the display card, and carried diagonally across a portion of the rear face placed in the box, so that the folded leg band of the loose garter lies adjacent the strap 7 of the other garter, and in this position the bulky portion of the loose garter is below the bulkyportion of the other garter, and said loose garter is held in position by the display card with the other garter thereon, and said display card with its garter is held in the box by the lid or cover 21, which when the package is being used for display purposes may be placedon the bottom of the box 20 as shown in Fig. l. A

-From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided by my invention an exceedingly simple, efficient and compact package, particularly adapted for display purposes which at the same time permIits a t is also to be noted that the garter itself acts as the fastening device for attaching it to the display card, while said display card holds the loose garter within the box by the frictional engagement of the flanges l3 and 14: with the sides of the box. As but one garter is placed upon a display card there is considerable back space showing which serves as a convenient means for displaying advertisin matter 0 course I do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction as here shown, as these may be varied within the limits of the appended claim without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, is

In a device of the character stated a display card having two openings therein and provided with angular corner edges, and angular side edges, a pad garter, so arranged that the upper angular corners of the pad approximately co-incide with the angular corner edges of the display card, the leg band being folded over one of said angular corner edges and passing diagonally across the rear of the card to one of the angular side edges, folded over said angular side edge and passing across the front of the card to the opposite angular side edge, folded about said angular side edge, and passing diagonally across the rear of the card beneath the first named diagonal portion, the strap of said garter overlying that portion of the leg band which passes across the front of the card and projecting through one of the openings in the card to the underface thereof, the button carried by said strap projecting through the other opening and the clasp carried by said strap engaging said button to hold the garter upon the card as shown. p

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto afiixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
